8-color printed packaging — The Game Changer
The Game Changer

Photographic Colour, Single Pass

Most corrugated and honeycomb packaging settles for 2-colour printing. SHMI presses run up to 8 colours in a single pass — including coated inks and spot effects — so your packaging can carry photographic imagery, gradients and brand-consistent colour straight onto kraft and white-top board.

No wrappers, no shrink sleeves, no added cost per piece of a label. The shelf impression is printed directly on the packaging that also protects the product.

  • 8 colours, one pass — richer colour, lower cost per box
  • Photographic & gradients — brand imagery on paper
  • Brand-consistent — PMS-matched to your palette
  • On kraft & white-top — the exact board your product needs

The Difference

Why 8 Colors Changes the Shelf

Full-Color Imagery

Product photos, lifestyle shots and rich artwork — printed direct on the box.

Gradients & Depth

Smooth tonal shifts and depth that flat 2-color printing can't approach.

Spot & Coated Inks

Varnish, matte/gloss contrast and accent colors that lift the design.

Brand Consistency

Your exact brand colors, batch after batch, carton after carton.

Premium Without Wrappers

Skip the printed sleeve or label — the carton is the canvas.

Still Fully Recyclable

Water-based inks and coatings keep the packaging curbside-recyclable.

Applications

Where Full-Color Pays for Itself

High-volume, shelf-facing packaging is where 8-color printing earns its keep — FMCG cartons, retail-ready packaging, e-commerce mailers and consumer goods where the box is the first brand moment.

  • FMCG & retail cartons that sell from the shelf
  • E-commerce mailers — the unboxing is the ad
  • Consumer electronics — premium first impressions
  • Seasonal & promo — short runs, big impact
